The Clip Tab

Managing clips

You can import any number of clips into the workspace. Much like a compositing application, you can have a multitude of assets in the application you may wish to work with at any given time. As clips are imported into the workspace, they populate Clip list drop-down menus found throughout the application.

Above is shown a list of clips that have been loaded into a workspace.

 

Importing Clips

The first clip is always imported when you start a new project. Once you import the first clip, the base resolution for that particular project is established.

 

Additional clips can be imported into the workspace through the Clip tab.

 

The clips must match the base clip resolution set for the project (the resolution of the first clip you imported when you started the project).

Removing Clips from the Workspace

You may clean up the workspace by deleting clips you no longer need. Select the clip in the clip drop-down list and hit Delete. That clip will be removed from the workspace.

Relinking Clips in the Workspace

You may wish to relink a clip in the workspace. Select the clip from the clip drop- down list and hit Relink. You will be presented with a traditional file browser and asked to select the clip you wish the original to be replaced by. Make sure they have the same resolution as the project base clip.

Selecting a Clip to Track

Most often, the first clip you imported will be the one you wish to track. There are times when you may get an updated shot with color correction or some other enhancements to make tracking easier. To use this new clip, you must first import it into the workspace as described above.

To select to track on this new clip, you must choose it in the Track tab's Input drop-down.

Selecting a Clip to Rotoscope

Rotoscoping can be done on any of the clips you have imported. To change the clip you are viewing in the canvas, select the clip in the View Controls drop-down list. You will notice that any clip you’ve imported into the workspace will appear here.
